Hi David, this is a really wonderful job, thank you so much for sharing it! I
am adding your function to every score of mine right now :)

About this comment above, would it be possible to implement another variable
in your function which would take care of the maximal rest value between two
consecutive ottaved notes? This way, some users can just set it to 0 to
avoid any ottavation above rests, while others can set it to their own
personal values to generate a more traditionally looking score. What do you
think about this, how difficult would it be to implement this? 

Thanks a lot and take care,
Gilberto
